Asked By:erinlondonio in Las Vegas, NV

my nose is crooked from falling on my face last year. it isnt broke. i already had a deviated septum (probably for years) due to cocaine abuse from my earlier years. i havent used in well over a year. my ent advises to not do it as recovery is questionable. he said something to the affect of it collapsing no matter how long ago my usage was.. pleaase help b/c i cant live with a crooked nose forever and i have a hard time breathing and always sound nasal. are there any other options?
